What this trial measures
- Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA)Respiratory sinus arrhythmia will be measured during a baseline (20 minutes), challenging task (19 minutes) and the recovery period (10 minutes).
- Blood pressureSystolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) will be measured during a baseline (20 minutes), challenging task (19 minutes), and recovery period (10 minutes).
- Remote Associates Test (RAT)Participants will complete the RAT task for 19 minutes (44 trials).
In this study, the remote associates test (RAT) will be used as a challenging task to induce sympathetic arousal. Each RAT item consists of three words, participants will be asked to generate a fourth word/solution associated with the words presented by means of a compound word, synonymy, or semantic association. The participant has provided a fourth/solution word or the 30 second time limit. The task will consist of a total of 39 trials, including 5 practice trials.
